Dean was truly fantastic. This trip was for our engagement celebration, and he really made it special. He was such a great host, picking us up from our hotel, walking us through the van, answering all our questions, and then dropping us back off at the airport at the end of the trip. The van was spotless and fully stocked, and we had soooo much fun on our big California adventure. Whether you are renting, or considering building out a van, I cannot recommend Dean enough.

Eric an Ashley were amazing hosts! It was our first time renting and driving an RV and they did a thorough walkthrough with us to make us comfortable and even included videos of everything we covered. The Dude was the perfect RV for our trip and everything worked as expected. Would absolutely rent through them again. THANK YOU!
